Comments: If it is scriptural for an Elder to set up a Mission Society as a Foundation to receive funds for his foreign mission work, and his own support, and then distribute it (or what is left of it) to the native "missionaries" over whom he has full control, in the Philippines, then why not have all the churches in America send all their money and contributions to this same Elder, and let him determine how to allocate and distribute all the funds for all the churches in the whole United States, as well as the Philippines. One is just as outrageously unscriptural as the other.
